Sounds like you're using gitflow (master, develop, feature/* branches). If so, we use the jgitflow-maven-plugin instead of maven-release-plugin, which handles these transitions and the inherent conflicts caused by the maven versioning.
Unfortunately, the maintainer is no longer working on it (and says he's not even working in java anymore), but it still works well. https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/jgit-flow/wiki/Home On Wed, Feb 28, 2018 at 7:18 AM Matthew Broadhead < matthew.broadh...@nbmlaw.co.uk> wrote: > hi, > not sure if this is the correct place to ask questions about the maven > release plugin > i am trying to set my snapshots and releases properly > i am using git with a master branch and a development branch > how do i work in the snapshot on development and then tag the releases > to master? > if you know any good tutorials online that would help as i tried a few > but they didn't fit my case > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org > > -- -- Ben Tatham Software Architect *Nano**metrics* *Inc.* Ottawa * I* Calgary *I* Houston *I* Beijing T: +1 613 505 5065 *I* bentat...@nanometrics.ca www.nanometrics.ca *I *www.microseismicmonitoring.com This message is intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
